To be honest, I find his teaching on this topic very
relevant and balanced in present context and scenario of Nepal. These questions
have been tremendously raised by non-charismatic and Pentecostal denominations
today but this video has a lot to say something about this! I am blessed by the
message. Sometimes in name of Sola Scriptura and scholastic faith, even Christians
in Nepal have been heavily misled in understanding the purpose and need of
revivals. For them, these are never seen or mentioned in scripture and hence
must be stopped. For them, fruits, gifts and manifestations of Spirit get or
become or appear synonymous and confused terms. He has indeed brought a good
and important case from the church history itself. Meanwhile his expositional
teaching on this subject dealing both extreme sides can really help Nepali Christian
churches to comprehend these things more precisely.
Remark on video 2: Click!
It’s not a formula nor it is something that can be framed to
a matrix. But to understand simply, this is the result when divine working and intervention
meets human weakness. Today, due to rise of intellectualism (well that's
essential too!) many churches see these situations as troublesome. Many of them
try to use out of context verses to resist these kinds of things like "God
doesn't change" or "He isn't God of confusion". Meanwhile what
they forgot is to evaluate the aftereffect of the revival. How peoples in their
weakness are touched by their loving Father and they submit themselves to be
broken down in their hurdles and old characters. This paves them path to renew
themselves and rethink their life again. Many peoples have life changing
experiences in the revivals and bonus point is that revival helps us to be
cautious about our identification and relationship with God. It helps us not to
be misled in life but be connected with God and experience his works in our
life. Intellectual side helps us to know about him while emotional side helps
us to understand his care, love and concern for us. Hence, they must be
complementary aspects and not rivals.
Really great video Pastor Bhojraj sir!
